The Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to make this website available to the many people inquiring of our Chamber and our community. To those discovering the Ottawa Community for the first time, we extend a warm "Chamber Welcome." We are proud of our Chamber of Commerce, its members and our area of this great nation. As evidenced by this website, we are a thriving, vibrant and diverse community. We have a rich history of both struggles and accomplishments.

Franklin County is one of the fasted growing counties in Kansas. Opportunities for primary and secondary education abound. Our health care facilities and programs are second to none. Our industrial base offers many opportunities to work where you live and raise a family. We are near five great boating and fishing lakes and our community has both east-west and north-south rail trails for biking and walking.

The "good life" is right here in Franklin County! If you don't live or work here now, we hope you will soon join us in building our community's future together.
